Introduction
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 5 percent of all hospital
admissions result in a healthcare‐associated infection, culminating in approximately 1.7 million
infections and 99,000 deaths each year1 as well as $28–33 billion in excess costs.2 In North
Carolina, approximately 33,000 individuals contract healthcare‐associated infections in acute care
hospitals each year, resulting in approximate direct costs to facilities ranging from $281 million to
$779 million dollars.3 These numbers likely underestimate the true burden of healthcare‐associated
infections because they include only a subset of acute care hospitals and healthcare‐associated
infections.
The prevention of healthcare‐associated infections is a public health priority in North Carolina and
is a collaborative effort among the healthcare and public health communities. This January 2013
Healthcare‐Associated Infections Quarterly Report is an important product of this collaboration and
represents the first public reporting of healthcare‐associated infections statewide, as required by
North Carolina General Statute 130A‐150 and North Carolina Administrative Code Rule 41A .0106.
Included in this report is information about infections occurring in North Carolina acute care
hospitals during January 1st –June 30th, 2012. Data included in this report are preliminary and
subject to change.
While this report only includes data from acute care hospitals, other facility types including
rehabilitation, long term acute care, and state psychiatric will be added to future reports. These
reports will be released on a quarterly basis during the months of January, April, July, and October.
The next quarterly report will provide an annual summary of 2012 healthcare‐associated infections
in acute care hospitals.
This report focuses on three important types of healthcare‐associated infections that may occur
while patients are hospitalized: central line‐associated bloodstream infections, catheter‐associated
urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections (specifically those following abdominal
hysterectomies or colon surgeries). These three types of infections account for a large proportion of
illnesses and deaths attributed to healthcare, but they do not represent the full spectrum of
healthcare‐associated infections. Information about other types of healthcare‐associated infections
‐ including those caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and by Clostridium
difficile ‐ will be included in future reports.
This report was prepared by the North Carolina Healthcare‐Associated Infections Prevention Team,
which is located in the Communicable Disease Branch of the Epidemiology Section of the North
Carolina Division of Public Health. The NC Healthcare‐Associated Infections Prevention Program
works to eliminate preventable infections in health care settings by:

2. Providing useful, unbiased information to health care providers and consumers;
3. Promoting and coordinating prevention efforts; and
4. Responding to outbreaks in health care settings.
We hope that the information in this report will be useful to providers. Data are intended to provide
an understanding of the burden of healthcare‐associated infections in N.C. Furthermore, providers
can assess their hospital’s healthcare‐associated infections burden in conjunction with other acute
care hospitals. This may help to identify potential resources and opportunities to strengthen their
hospitals’ healthcare‐associated infections prevention program. A separate healthcare consumer
version is also available at http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/diseases/hai. We welcome your
feedback to improve the usefulness of future reports (nchai@dhhs.nc.gov).

I. Surveillance for Healthcare‐Associated Infections in North Carolina
Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, fungi, and
viruses while receiving medical care. Hospitals report specific types of HAIs to the North Carolina
Division of Public Health. These infections include central line‐associated bloodstream infections
(CLABSI), catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and surgical site infections (SSI)
occurring after an abdominal hysterectomy or colon surgery. These infections are only reported for
patients in the hospital and not for patients in outpatient settings such as clinics, outpatient surgery
centers or dialysis facilities.
By North Carolina law, hospital reporting requirements are based on the reporting requirements
established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The first HAI reporting
requirement went into effect on January 1, 2012, when acute care hospitals began reporting
CLABSIs, CAUTIs, and SSIs. Additional hospital types – long‐term acute care hospitals and
rehabilitation hospitals – began reporting CLABSIs and CAUTIs in October 2012; this information
will be included in future quarterly reports. In January 2013, acute care hospitals will begin
reporting laboratory confirmed bloodstream infections caused by methicillin‐resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and infections caused by Clostridium difficile (C. diff). This
information will also be included in future quarterly reports.
HAI information is entered into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) web‐based
surveillance system called the National Healthcare Safety Network (NSHN). These data are shared
with the N.C. Healthcare‐Associated Infections Prevention Program (HAI Program) within N.C. DPH
through an agreement with hospitals that satisfies the reporting requirements of the N.C law.
Infections should be reported within 30 days following the end of the month in which they are
identified. Additionally, the denominator data such as the number of central line days, catheter
days, abdominal hysterectomies, and colon surgeries must also be reported. The N.C. HAI Program
works with hospitals on a monthly basis to reconcile their data. At the beginning of each month, a
reconciliation report is generated and shared with each hospital. Hospitals are given 30 days from
the receipt of the reconciliation report to review and update any errors in NHSN. All data in NHSN
are entered and modified by hospitals; the N.C. HAI Program cannot change data in NHSN.
To learn more about CLABSIs, CAUTIs, and SSIs, please visit the N.C. Healthcare‐Associated
Infections – Facts & Figures website at http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/hai/figures.html. In
addition to information about specific infections, there is a link to the October 2012 Quarterly
Report, which contains background information on HAI surveillance in N.C. and detailed
information on statistics commonly used to describe and summarize HAIs.

II. Overview of the Hospital‐Specific Summary Reports
The following pages are the hospital‐specific summary reports for healthcare‐associated infections
that acute care hospitals reported from January to June, 2012. Data in this report were downloaded
from NHSN on December 27, 2012; any changes made to the January‐June data after this date are
not reflected in this report. Before reviewing the hospital‐specific summary reports, please read
this section which contains helpful information and explanations.
Each hospital has a one‐page summary that contains five sections: 1) general hospital information,
2) central line‐associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), 3) catheter associated urinary tract
infections (CAUTI), 4) surgical site infections (SSI), and 5) commentary from the hospital. These
sections are described in detail below.
Before elaborating on each section, two clarifications about the data need to be made:
1. The data are preliminary. Although efforts were made by hospitals and the N.C. HAI Prevention
Program to ensure that the data were accurate and complete, a formal validation of the data has
not been performed. Data validation is a process by which data from hospitals are carefully
reviewed to ensure that they meet established criteria and standards for reporting. If these
criteria and standards are not met, over‐reporting or under‐reporting of infections, device (i.e.,
central line, catheter) days, and procedures can occur giving a distorted presentation of what is
occurring in the hospital. Until data validation is completed, data are preliminary and should be
interpreted with caution. Collaboration with partners is anticipated in the coming year to
discuss data validation options.
2. The rates of infections are not included in some places. Approximately 25% of reporting
hospitals in N.C. are small hospitals with less than 100 beds. These hospitals are likely to have
low numbers of denominator data ‐ central line days, catheter days, and surgeries. Calculating
rates with small numbers in the denominator can be misleading. Therefore the N.C. HAI
Program chose to present only the actual number of infections for units, hospitals, and/or
surgeries that did not meet a minimum threshold value for the reporting period; rates are not
presented. The minimum threshold numbers for the reporting period are based on CDC
recommendations for reporting healthcare‐associated infection data.
 Central line‐associated bloodstream infections: 50 central line days
 Catheter‐associated urinary tract infections: 50 catheter days
 Surgical site infections: 20 surgeries
Section Overview
Tables and figures from hospital‐specific summary reports have been included in the following
sections to provide a pictorial representation of data. These tables and figures do not represent one
single hospital and are used as examples to highlight key points.
Section 1 – General Hospital Information
This section contains general information about the hospital and includes a map of where the
hospital (blue “H” icon) is located in N.C. Data in this section are from the NSHN 2011 Annual
Hospital Survey. The surveys are completed once a year; the 2012 Annual Hospital Survey will be
completed by hospitals in 2013.
NC Division of Public Health, HAI Prevention Program NC HAI Quarterly Report ‐ January 2013

Section 2 – Central line‐associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
This section of the report includes a table and figure about CLABSIs. CLABSIs are only reported
from adult, pediatric, and neonatal intensive care units (ICU) in acute care hospitals.
Table 1 summarizes the number of infections, central line days, rates, predicted infections,
standardized infection ratios (SIR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) with
interpretation by type of ICU. There may be more than one reporting ICU unit for a given
classification of ICU. At the bottom of table is the “YTD Total for Reporting ICUs” that summarizes
the year‐to‐date total for the reporting ICUs in the hospital.
1. The rate is the number of CLABSIs divided by the number of central line days multiplied by
1,000 to get “per 1,000 central line days.” If the minimum threshold number of 50 central line
days is not met then rates and additional statistics are not calculated. In Table 1, the
medical/surgical unit at the hospital only has 28 central line days and therefore the rate,
predicted infections, SIR, 95% CI and interpretation are not presented.
2. The predicted number of infections is calculated using CLABSI rates from a standard population
during a baseline time period. For CLABSI, the predicted number of infections is based on 2006‐
2008 NSHN national data. Detailed information on how the predicted number of infections is
calculated can be found in the October 2012 Quarterly Report at
http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/hai/figures/hai_oct2012.pdf.
3. The standardized infection ratio (SIR) is calculated by dividing the observed number of
infections by the predicted number of infections. An SIR of 1.0 indicates that the number of
observed and predicted infections is the same. If the SIR is greater than 1.0, the number of
observed infections is greater than the number of predicted infections. If the SIR is less than 1.0,
the number of observed infections is less than the number of predicted infections. If the number
of predicted infections is less than 1, the SIR is not calculated because the number of central line
days is too low to calculate a precise SIR and 95% CI. For example, in Table 1 the predicted
NC Division of Public Health, HAI Prevention Program NC HAI Quarterly Report ‐ January 2013
4
number of infections in the pediatric medical/surgical unit is 0.216; therefore the SIR and
corresponding 95% CI with interpretation are not presented.
4. The 95% confidence interval (CI) corresponds to the SIR presented in the table. When the
number of infections is 0, the lower bound of the 95% CI is not calculated. The 95% CI is a
measure of precision; a wide confidence interval indicates an imprecise estimate of the SIR. The
95% CI can also be used for hypothesis testing ‐ that there are no differences in the numbers of
observed and predicted infections. If the 95% CI includes the value of 1, then there is no
statistically significant difference between the numbers of observed and predicted infections.
However, if the 95% CI does not include the value of 1, then there is a statistically significant
difference in the number of observed and predicted infections.
5. The column “Interpretation” details the results of the hypothesis testing. If the interpretation is
the “Same” then there is no statistically significant difference between the numbers of observed
and predicted infections in a unit (or hospital). If the interpretation is “Higher” than the
observed number of infections in a unit (or hospital) is significantly higher than predicted.
Finally, if the interpretation is “Lower” than the observed number of infections in a unit (or
hospital) is significantly lower than predicted.
Figure 1 shows the hospital CLABSI rate along with the CLABSI rates of similarly‐sized hospitals
and all hospitals in N.C. The categories for “Similarly‐sized Hospitals” are based on total hospital
bed counts: less than 100 beds, 100‐199 beds, 200‐399 beds, and 400+ beds. Hospitals that serve as
the primary location for medical schools are included in a separate category (primary medical
school affiliation). A list of the hospitals in each category can be found in Appendix B.
The CLABSI rate for similarly‐sized hospitals was calculated by dividing the sum of all CLABSIs in a
category by the sum of all central line days in the same category and multiplying by 1,000. The
CLABSI rate for all hospitals in N.C. was calculated by dividing the sum of all CLABSIs in N.C. by the
sum of all central line days in N.C and multiplying by 1,000. In addition to the rates, the lower limit
and upper limit of the 95% confidence intervals are presented in the figure.
In Figure 1, the CLABSI rate in the hospital appears to be lower than that of similarly‐sized hospitals
and all hospitals in NC. To test the hypothesis that there are no differences in the hospital rate from
NC Division of Public Health, HAI Prevention Program NC HAI Quarterly Report ‐ January 2013
5
similarly‐sized hospitals or all hospitals in N.C., the 95% CIs are examined. If the 95% CIs of two
CLABSI rates overlap, then the observed differences in the CLABSI rates are not considered
statistically significantly different. However, if the 95% CIs of two CLABSI rates do not overlap, then
the CLABSI rates are considered to be statistically significantly different. Note that the 95% CI for
the CLABSI rates (Figure 1) are used to test a different hypothesis than the 95% CI for CLABSI SIRs
(Table 1).
In the example show in Figure 1, the 95% CI of the hospital CLABSI rate is wide and overlaps with
the 95% CIs of both similarly‐sized hospitals and all hospitals in NC. Therefore, the conclusion
would be that there is no statistically significant difference in the hospital CLABSI rate compared to
the CLABSI rate of similarly‐sized hospitals or all hospitals in NC.
Section 3 – Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)
Like the section on CLABSIs, this section includes a table and figure about catheter‐associated
urinary tract infections (CAUTI). CAUTIs are only reported from adult and pediatric ICUs in acute
care hospitals.
The calculations of the statistics in this section are the same as those presented in “Section 2 ‐
Central line‐associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)”; please refer to that section for more
information. The one difference is that the number of predicted CAUTIs is based on the 2009
aggregated NHSN national data.
In the example above (Table 2), the hospital CAUTI rate was 0 per 1,000 catheter‐days. The
accompanying Figure 2 below displays that the 95% CI is not presented when the rate is 0.
NC Division of Public Health, HAI Prevention Program NC HAI Quarterly Report ‐ January 2013

Section 4 – Surgical site infections (SSI)
This section includes a table and two figures about SSIs. Hospitals are required to report SSIs that
occur among adults 18 years or older following inpatient abdominal hysterectomies and colon
surgeries. Only SSIs that occur at the primary incision site within 30 days of surgery are included in
this report. Infections are not included if they occur later or if they involve only the skin or
subcutaneous tissue (the layer of tissue directly under the skin). Finally, if patient age or the
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score are missing for a surgery, it is classified as an
“incomplete procedure” and not included in the final count of surgeries.
The predicted number of SSIs and the SSI SIRs are calculated differently from CLABSI and CAUTI.
Details on these calculations can be found in the October 2012 Quarterly Report at
http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/hai/figures/hai_oct2012.pdf. Similar to CLABSI, the baseline
period for the calculation of predicted SSIs is the 2006‐2008 NHSN national data. Finally, the SSI
SIRs are adjusted for patient age and ASA score.
Recall that if the number of procedures (or central line days for CLABSIs or catheter days for
CAUTIs) at a hospital does not meet a minimum threshold number, the number of infections and
surgeries would be presented but not the rate. For SSIs, the minimum threshold is 20 surgeries for
a reporting period. In the example above (Table 3), there were less than 20 abdominal
NC Division of Public Health, HAI Prevention Program NC HAI Quarterly Report ‐ January 2013
7
hysterectomies performed. Therefore, the SSI rate for abdominal hysterectomy was not included in
the table.
In the accompanying Figure 3, the hospital SSI rate and 95% CI are not presented.
Section 5 – Commentary from Hospital
This section is an opportunity for hospitals to comment on HAIs and infection control activities in
their hospital. There is a 690 character limit (including spaces) therefore hospitals may have
chosen to provide a link to their hospital website to provide lengthier comments.
